Hi fellow SDNers

I am having trouble classifying this course Called "Introduction to Research Methods". It is a psychology class but everything is based on the scientific method and has zero statistics in it as well. This was all about scientific journals and papers.

Would this be under science?

Thanks
 
I listed it as a psych class even though it was not at all a psych class. Mine had "PSY-" in it in the course catalog and on my transcript. Mine was just called "research methods " and had some stuff about statistical analysis, but nothing as involved as an actual statistics class.
 
It honestly all depends on how your school codes it on your transcript. What's the prefix that's used? If its PSYC, then I don't think AACOMAS will count it as a science.
